He said he had gone to the clothes closet to get soma wearing apparel for several of men who were practically without clothes, and upon opening the closfet door a shell of liatne shot forth, burning off his hair and eyebrows. The watchman was unable to shut the door and the whole room was quickly enveloped in smoke and flames. O'Connell gave the alarm and hurired around, waking up the sleeping inmates. The closet had formerly been an old elevator shaft and with a door open a draft resulted that quickly spread the fire throughout the building. About eighty-five men were crowded into the basement sleeping, when the fire was discovered. They were unable to get out. as the door was apparently locked. Their cries attracted the attention of policemen and the basement door was broken In. The men poured out of the basement like rats in a trap. The firemen called to those in the windows not to jump until the nets could be stretched, but all to little avail, for as fast as the flames roared nearer to the windows men jumped and were picked up, crushed and un conscious, below. ROBERTSDALE PRIEST'S HOME IS DESTROYED SY FIRE. Standard Oil Company Deliver Load of Coke Still Smouldering, nt lloune of Neighborhood Flames Start From This and Spread to Sparlsh Itefcidenc-c. Fire completely destroyed the beautiful home of Father Benedict of Robertsdale, last night and only through the hard work of the Robertsdale and Whiting Are departments and hundreds of volunteea was the Polish Catholic church saved from destruction. The fire broke out at midnight, while the occupants of the house were asleep and was due' to coke that had been delivered in the afternoon to a neighbor, Patrick Gallagher, from the Standard Oil company while still burning. The coke smouldered until midnight when It broke out Into a blaze and Immediately spread to the surrounding buildings .among them the parish residence. The lack of water pressure and the high wind especially made it impossible to check the flames. It was soon seen that the home of Father Benedict would be a complete wreck. Nothing was saved with the exception of the Iron safe which contained some of the church documents. Part of the loss la covered by Insurance which amounted to $2,500. The fire was still burning today. Real Style in New York. They were wasting a few idle moments at the Women's Dependenco league in intimate remarks. "As a womanly woman, with woman ish ways, I want to propose Mrs. Dahlgren for our next president," said Mrs. Peter F. Rhinelander. "Who is the womanly woman with womanish ways, yourself or Mrs. Dahlgren?" asked Mrs. Pembroke Hood, always with an eye to correctness of expression. "I hope it is not necessary for me to state that I am too much of a lady to refer to myself in so glowing terms." "Oh, very well. It Is Mrs. Dahlgren. She is the perfect one." "The most exquisite creature in petticoats! Why, my dears, she even washes her dishes with, perfumed soap!" Seek Substitute for Sun's Rays. Experiments are being actively pursued on both sides of the Atlantic to see whether it is not possible to discover some light which would have the same effect on vegetation as has the sun. Science Is familiar with the composition of the solar rays to a large extent, and it Is not regarded as unreasonable to seek for an artificial substitute. As a matter of fact, the rays from an acetylene lamp have been found to approximate very closely to sunlight. So much is this so that fairly well developed plants have been produced which have never known the daylight, the whole course of their existence having been spent under the influence of acetylene light A Printer's Pranks. "I have played many a practical Joke on writers in my time." said the veteran compositor. "My last joke was on a bishop. Studying the Russian revolution, he wrote from Moscow to a church paper a descriptive letter that ended: "But I can write no more. The gorgeous domes of the city beckon me, and I go." "I," said the veteran, with a loud laugh, "made 'domes' read 'dames.' "

The Hotel Clerk Laments a Lack cf Human Ingenuity. "I wonder why," mused the hotel clerk, as he dickered with his tie in front of a mirror fixed in the office. "I wonder why whenever anybody wants to give me a present he send3 me a scarf pin. If I never wore a pin I could understand it. But 1 always wear one and sometimes when I look at the collection I have at home, I get desperate and want to wear half a dozen at a time. Guests who come here and receive courtesies always show their gratitude by sending me a scarf pin and, in a way, it's becoming embarrassing. "For instance, one man gave me a wolf's head pin made of oxidized silver with rubies for the eyes. It was a beautiful pin. I could see people looking at it yards away when I was out, but one day I wore another and the man who gave me the wolf's head blew in from Chicago and was quite hurt. Now I never know what pin to wear. It just shows how wealth has its responsibilities." qaunj -oiqjoidap 'pug joptm e.w 'sbm.
